Nurse #2 of the Spanish Ebola treatment team for the Medical Missionary Priest has gone down with Ebola.
BHL-2 PPE is proving insufficient to the point of criminal negligence with ill-trained local HCW meeting Ebola for the first time.

ANOTHER nurse who treated the two missionary doctors repatriated from Liberia and Sierra Leone has been admitted to Madrid’s Carlos III hospital with suspected Ebola.
She was found to be suffering from a fever and is undergoing tests to find out whether she has caught the haemorrhagic virus from the two patients who were air-lifted home in August and September.
Along with a Spanish engineer who has just returned from Nigeria, and a third female nurse who has so far tested negative, the latest patient is the fifth person being held in isolation – although only one case has been confirmed.
Teresa Romero, 44, from Alcorcón (Madrid) was rushed to hospital on Monday and tests for Ebola showed up positive.
Her husband, Javier, is in a separate isolation ward under observation.
At least another 50 people who either treated the missionaries or have been in contact with those currently in hospital are undergoing regular temperature checks.
A helpline has been set up by Madrid health authorities – 91 400 00 01 – and an email address, sanidadinforma@salud.madrid.org.
